Born 2nd July 1979 in Adelaide. She
has one
younger sister, two dogs and a yellow
canary. Anna's first language is Italian and she didn't speak English until she started school. The first word she learned to pronounce (apart from Mama and Papa) was 'chocolate'! Anna's earliest memory of loving music was when her mum played Tom Jones' "What's New Pussycat" - nothing could stop her dancing around the room to that song! Anna's dad encouraged her interest and brought her a guitar. But after three lessons her fingers hurt so much that she changed to electronic organ. At age six, Anna entered the Yamaha International Electone (electronic organ) Festival and has competed every year since. She was a state finalist twice and won a Young Composer's Music Award. Anna also participated in school musicals, choirs and ensembles and on weekends performed in a band for wedding ceremonies. Anna has always wanted to be a performer but thought it would be safe to have a back up profession. Last year, she finished her Bachelor of Education and, just before making the final group of Popstars, was offered a music teaching profession. |
"To be a performer has always been my dream. When I was chosen for the group, I could not believe I had been offered this great opportunity of a lifetime. I am grateful for every experience and opportunity that has been offered to me in the past, which has enabled me to get this far. This is so cool - getting paid to sing, dance and perform. I must have the best job in the world!" |
